Asymmetric Knife XCB-105-1583, dating back to the era of 400 BCE to 100 CE. XCB-105 Adamagan, named after its Aleut origin, meaning place of walrus hunters, is strategically located at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village boasts multiple occupations, holding the title of largest Arctic settlement with an estimated population of 1000 inhabitants during its occupancy from 400 BCE to 100 CE. Archaeological evidence also points to limited occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are a direct result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, led by H. Maschner as Principal Investigator. These artifacts underwent scanning using either the Faro Edge Arm or Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing was carried out in Geomagic or Polyworks, utilizing 2-8 photos for texture enhancement within Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage.
